Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to professional hair straightening irons. In particular, the invention relate to hair irons used for straightening curled or wavy hair, or for creating sinusoidal, triangular, square waves, and so on in one or more locks of hair.
- Hair irons are tools used by hair-dressers for straightening curled or wavy hair, or for creating particular patterns, such as sinusoidal, triangular, square waves, etc. on one or more locks of hair.
- The iron plate is formed by two support elements, lower and upper, hinged together and operated, by using corresponding handles, to set the plate into operation, that is to its close position.
- The support elements have guides, or grooves, for instance extending longitudinally, for coupling with complementary grooves, or guides, made in respective facing plates, a lower plate and an upper plate, respectively.
- The plates have mirror profiles, are interchangeable and their contact surfaces are flat for straightening hair, or are patterned with complementary profiles forming particular waves along their longitudinal or transversal extension, so to obtain the desired hairstyle.
- Moreover, the iron has heating means for heating the above mentioned lower and upper plates.
- After having set the plates on the iron, the heating means are activated, a lock of hair is laid on the lower plate and the iron is operated by mating the opposite surfaces of the plates.
- The use of plates with flat or patterned profiles, together with the heat, allows to straighten the hair or to obtain the desired waving on the lock.
- Another kind of known hair iron is equipped with a small tank, connected to the support elements. The tank communicates, via suitable ducts made in the support elements, with one of the plates, which has a plurality of holes on its entire surface. The operator uses this type of iron in the same way as the traditional irons, and, in addition, with a suitable control he can convey some drops of water contained in the tank, to the heated plate: the water, touching the plate hot surface, creates steam, which goes out through the holes made in the same plate.
- However, this type of iron has some disadvantages.
- Its dimensions are bigger with respect to the traditional irons and consequently it is little handy.
- Another disadvantage derives from the fact that using this system it is not possible to control the steam temperature, since the evaporation of the water drops depends on the plate's temperature.
- During the iron use, the steam discharged by the corresponding plate can burn the client's skin.
- Another disadvantage of this iron results from the fact that it is necessary to feed the tank continuously, with a considerable waste of time, since its capacity does not allow a long time use.
- The object of the present invention is to propose a professional iron which overcomes the prior art disadvantages.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an iron, which is shaped in such a way, as to allow, by one operation only, to straighten the hair and to stabilize a waving at the hair ends (hair ends turned downward or upward).
- A further object of the invention is to propose a professional iron, which can be used also by unskilled operators.
- A still further object of the invention is to propose a hair iron, which is particularly handy.
- A yet further object is to propose an iron, which can be obtained at low cost with respect to its performance.
- The above mentioned objects are achieved by the present invention, in accordance with the contents of claims, by a professional hair iron characterized by including:
-
- a unit defined by two support elements, namely a lower support element and an upper support element, hinged together to move between a rest, open position, and an operation, closed position;
- complementary facing plates, respectively a lower plate and an upper plate, removably fastened to relevant free ends of said lower support element and upper support element;
- heating means, associated to each plate of said facing plates, for stabilizing a lock of hair laid between the facing plates.

- The iron 1 is formed by a unit U and a known steam generator G, including a
support 9, on which the unit U is placed, when the iron is not in operation. - The steam generator G is connected to an
inlet 39 of the unit U, by feeding means C. - The unit U is composed of two
support elements lower element 2 and anupper element 3, hinged together, due to the hinged connection, thelower element 2 andupper element 3 can take a rest, open position, and an operation close position. - Each
element 2, 3 (FIG. 4 ) includes a rear part Pp, close to the hinge area, a central part Pc and an outer part Pe. - The rear part Pp is hollow and has a
tube 300, partially shown inFIG. 4 and leading to an outlet H (FIG. 7 ), which is made in the vertical fore part I of the same rear part Pp. - The central part Pc has a recess W, and its thickness is smaller with respect to the rear part. The outer part Pe is shaped in such a way, as to receive removably a closing element, or plug T (
FIG. 7 ), fixed by known means e.g. snap means, or screw means, not shown: the upper surface of the outer part Pe is coplanar with the upper surface of the adjacent central part Pc. - A group Y, connected to the central part Pc (
FIG. 5A ), is defined by a lower portion 29 (FIGS. 4 , 7), fastened to the latter, and by aplate lower portion 29, as described later on. - As shown in
FIGS. 4 , 5, thelower portion 29 haslongitudinal guides lower portion 29, symmetrically with respect to a vertical symmetry plane □ (FIG. 5 ) and shaped in such a way that thelongitudinal edges 290 are folded outwards, so as to define corresponding longitudinal abutments D. - The
lower portion 29 has vertical holes L, made e.g. beside theedges 290 for receiving known screw means V, which fasten, with the interposition of elastic means E, thelower portion 29 to the inner surface of the recess W of the central part Pc: a distance “d” is delimited between the longitudinal edges B of thesupport elements FIG. 5 ). - The lower surface fi of the
plate flanges guides lower portion 29, while the longitudinal edges B1, B2 of the plate outer surface fe are rounded. - The inner part of the
plate longitudinal seats 280, e.g. four, in which corresponding heating means R are introduced. - The upper plate 30 (
FIGS. 5 , 6) features also a channel N, arranged central with respect to the outer surface, within which ahollow body 32 is introduced slidingly and is fixed by known coupling means. - The
hollow body 32 is accessible from the rear through anopening 33 and communicates with outside through a series of holes F made in the upper surface. - The fore surface of the
hollow body 32 has e.g. a stabilizingmember 34, which couples with a complementary seat (not shown) in the outer part Pe of thecorresponding support element - According to a first and a second embodiment (
FIGS. 8 , 9), the longitudinal edges B3, B4 of the lower plate (not shown), as well as of theupper plate - According to the second embodiment (
FIG. 9 ),transversal guide slots 304 extend from the channel N of theupper plate 333, perpendicular and symmetrical to a central plane C and communicate with the upper surface through a series of further holes Q: theslots 304 extend along the whole length of the upper plate. -
Guide elements 321 of thehollow body 32, introduced sliding into theslots 304, set thehollow body 32 inside space into communication with thetransversal slots 304 throughsuitable openings 100. - It is understood that the guide
transversal slots 304, as well as the holes Q, can be made also in theupper plate 30, described previously. - The heating means R, e.g. resistors, can be activated separately, by known activating means 8, connected e.g. to the lower support element 2 (
FIG. 3 ) and coupled to athermometer 80, which is associated to one of the support elements, e.g. to the upper one 3 (FIG. 2 ). - In the beginning, the use of the iron 1 includes setting the
plates corresponding support elements 2, 3 (FIG. 7 ): for each element, the plug T is removed, theflanges longitudinal guides lower portion 29, so that the rear surface of each plate goes in abutment against the vertical wall I of the rear part Pp of eachsupport element - In this configuration, the heating means R are connected to corresponding plugs A (supplied with low voltage in known way), made in the vertical wall 1, the
opening 33 of theupper plate upper support element 3, so as to be connected to theinlet 39, by thetube 300. - In operation condition, the heating means R are powered and the generator G is activated, by known control means Z (
FIG. 2 ), e.g. a switch connected to theupper support element 3, to create steam in the latter. - The operator lays a lock of hair on the upper surface of the
lower plate 20 and then closes the support elements, so that theupper plate lower plate 20. - Due to the action of the heating means, the
plates plates - Particular curving of the longitudinal edges of the
plates upper plates - Closing of the elements also operates known devices, not shown, such as a micro-switch, situated in the hinging area of the
support elements - Therefore, the flow of steam created by the generator G passes through a pipe, inside the supply means C, then through the
tube 300, and flows into thehollow body 32 to be discharged through the holes F. According to the second embodiment, the steam flows also through the holes Q, so as to moisten the lock of hair situated between the lower and theupper plate - The professional hair iron is particularly advantageous because it uses the steam generator G, associated to the unit U, which allows to supply the latter with steam during the whole hair-set operation, thus speeding up and improving the hair locks straightening.
- Scented essences can be added to the quantity of water to be evaporated contained in the steam generator G. When the water is evaporates, also the essences are taken to the plate and exit through the holes F of the
body 32 and, if present, through the holes Q, Otherwise, other products can be combined with the steam to better moisten the hair cuticle, to improve straightening and/or setting of the hair, making the hair softer and more fluffy. - If the steam discharge is blocked by the obstruction of the holes F of the
body 2, e.g. by scale, it is possible to disassemble the corresponding plate with simple movements, remove thebody 32 therefrom and substitute it. - Moreover, the fact that the
body 32 covers only the central part of the corresponding plate is advantageous, because it allows to moisten primarily the lock of hair placed between the plates, thus eliminating the possibility to burn the client's skin during the hair-set operation. - Producing the steam in the steam generator G is advantageous, because it is possible to check the water temperature by known devices.
- The curved edges of the plates upper portion allow to use the iron for hair straightening as well as for styling the hair ends in a desired way: the hair ends follow the shape of the plates edges thus taking the desired curving (straight hairstyles with the ends curved inwards or outwards.
- Moreover, the curving of the rounded edges prevents the locks of hair from being folded badly on the same edges, due to the iron closing and use.
- The fact that the lower and upper plates have the edges tapered outwards allows the proposed iron to be used in more ways.
- Such plates make it possible to straighten in fact the hair lock up to the root, since the edges tapering allows to place the iron unit close to the skin, avoiding the skin burning during its use, because closing the support elements move the plates close to each other, forming a kind of beak: the plates portion close to the skin is very small.
- The hair iron proposed by the present invention can be used also on dry hair with more or less marked waving: the steam exiting from the upper plate allows to moisten the hair lock placed between the plates and to facilitate its straightening, and in case of extremely dry hair, it allows to avoid hair damage, since the cuticle is moisturized.
- Further, according to the kind of hair to be straightened, it is possible to activate all the plates heating resistors, so as to increase the plates temperature, in order to facilitate and speed up the hairstyle stabilization.
- The fact that the heating resistor activating means 8 and the control means Z for producing steam in the generator G are associated to the unit U, is advantageous, because it makes the unit U easily operated by the operator according to the kind of hair to be straightened.
- Another advantage results from the fact that the
lower portion 29 is subjected to the elastic means E, because this fact makes the iron 1 straighten the hair perfectly even when the quantity of hair closer to the hinging area is bigger/smaller than the quantity of hair closer the support elements ends. - In this situation, the distance “d” is variable; actually, when the quantity of hair closer to the hinging area is bigger than the quantity of hair closer to the support elements ends, with the iron in operation, the distance “d” near the hinging area becomes bigger than the distance “d” near the support elements ends.
- The positive characteristic features of the proposed iron appear obvious from what has been said above; even though it uses known elements, it proposes an innovating solution for the hair ironing, which allows to obtain all the objects mentioned in the introductory note, giving to the proposed iron necessary reliability, safety, handiness and durability.
- The iron safety is underlined by the fact that the unit U is supplied in known way with low voltage.
- It is obvious that the plates associated to the unit U can be substituted with plates having surfaces with patterned profiles, with at least one of them shaped in such a way, as to have a portion with holes for discharging the steam produced by the steam generator G.
- It is also obvious that the upper plate as well as the lower plate may include the
body 32, and, by using suitable devices, may convey the steam flow to both support elements, to allow the steam to be discharged by both plates to moisten the hair lock placed between the plates to a greater extent and in less time. - It is also pointed out that, by using suitable technical contrivances, it is possible to disconnect the unit U from the steam generator G and to use the unit U as a traditional hair iron, with all the advantages deriving from its conformation and from the different plates heating system.
- It is understood that what above has been described as a not limiting example, therefore possible practical-usage variations remain within the protective scope as described above and claimed below.
